Diagnostic plug. Wiring woes.

Yahoo Message Number: 5855
Jim: Yes it was the 12 pin plug. They wrapped it up together with other excess wiring and stuffed it down in front of the panel.
Many of my problems, (including one I am having right now) could easily be solved if the manufacturer just paid some attention to the future need of a specific wiring diagram for each coach. How tough can it be? Didn't they have to use one to build it?
I know, this is a cheap shot, but here goes: To give owners a couple of huge binders filled with copius amounts of papers must fill the need somewhere at home office. In the real world, I would venture a guess that less than 50% of the material I was given has specific application to my coach.
I am currently unable to find the source of inoperative taillamps and brake lights. All fuses are intact. Technical support lead me down a path of tracing wiring over the top of the coach. Wrong! Only upper and front lights are controlled by the fuse block. Apparently there are some realys hidden somewhere that are the source of the problem. How much easier would it be if the wiring diagram I have was specific to my coach!
Not only are wiring diagrams outdated, so are plumbing diagrams. Furthermore, technical support folks have nothing to go on other than their own knowledge of past problems.
What else is new. Nobody said these things were trouble free, but a little help from a service manual would surely be welcome.

Thanks,

Larry,

Maybe I can help you with your lighting problem. My dash & taillights would go out together. All the relays ended up being ok.
My problem ended up being a bad connection in one of the "moly-blocks" located below the trans shifter. By wiggling the #11 wire I got my lights to come on. You may have a similiar problem.

Hope this helps
Steve
